Statement of MOS...I&B....Shri.L.Murugan...on 100 crore vaccination record
India creates historic record with 100 crore vaccinations in 10 months. Minister of state for information and broadcasting L. Murugan…
In a statement issued in this regard he said since the beginning of 2020 the corona pandemic has been rattling the world... People have experienced a lot of misery and tragedy because of the pandemic ...
Prime Minister Modi who follows the compassionate thought of Vallalar who said "I am disheartened whenever I see a dry crop" initiated the task of saving India from the pandemic..
With the vaccine being the only weapon to contain the disease... he requested the scientists to immediately involve themselves in the efforts to introduce a vaccine... As usual as soon as this announcement of the Prime Minister was released opposition parties criticised it which created fear and panic among the public... But Prime Minister Modi who has always been firm in implementing any decision once again was firm in the task of vaccine production..
With the joint efforts of the Hyderabad-based Bharat biotech.. ICMR.. and National Institute of Virology.. the Covaxin vaccine was invented....
On the other hand Serum Institute in association with Oxford and Astrazeneca produced the Covishield vaccine ... .
As a result of the direct supervision of these activities which were expedited by the Prime Minister....the nation wide vaccination drive was started on the 16th of January this year... When the whole world was craving for vaccines... India produced two vaccines and made history . . In the first phase of providing Corona vaccines to the people... priority was given to doctors... health workers ..security staff.. frontline workers... and senior citizens above the age of 60 .... With this achievement of the central government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi the false propaganda of the opposition parties.. and the lack of confidence in the people came to an end...Very soon the announcement that everyone above the age of 18 can go in for vaccines free of cost was also released .
To the astonishment of those who said that can a country with a population of 130 crores vaccinate everyone above the age of 18.. people cooperated with the government... and now within 10 months 100 crore people had been given the first jab..
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands tall by converting the vaccination drive into a people's movement... and as a model for the whole world..
It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister himself stood as an example setting aside the VIP culture and establishing that all are equal..
The Prime Minister was very firm that when the corona virus does not see a distinction between a village and city. rich or poor.. why should there be a distinction for vaccination.
Therefore from the snow clad mountains of Kashmir to Kanyakumari reverberating with the sea waves. .. from the dense forests of Arunachal Pradesh to the Thar desert in Rajasthan... And including the Andaman Islands engulfed by the sea vaccines were sent for use by the people . ..
Moreover private participation was also associated with the vaccination drive.. This achievement was widely appreciated by world leaders...
With Make in India being the motto of the central government... along with the homemade vaccines permission was also given for Sputnik 5 produced by Russia…
Moreover Moderna.. Johnson and Johnson.. Zydus Cadilla have also been approved for emergency use by the Centre. ..
Going by the profound words of Saint Tiruvalluvar which means" a ruler who does the right act to save the people will be considered divine" the people attribute the divine to Prime Minister Modi who considers service to the people as service to God .. with the cooperation of the people ..the country and Prime Minister Modi are capable of any achievement.... This has been proved right with hundred crore vaccinations in a record time of ten months..
